Within the framework of the implementation of the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No88 on the organization of the educational process of students enrolled in an inclusive form of education, the school was attended by distinguished guests. The principle of the school shared the experience of organizing work in classes where children with special educational needs are taught. Among the guests were Alina Y. Melnyk – Chief Specialist on Work with Regions of the Poroshenko Charitable Foundation; Oksana Ivanivna Simushina – Deputy Head of the Department-Head of Special, Extracurricular Education and Educational Work Department; Ihor Voloshyn – Head of the Department of Education and Humanitarian Policy.

According to the school’s principal, before the introduction of inclusive education at the institution, educational activities were conducted among the public on the importance of socializing children with special educational needs and providing them with access to quality education. We started teaching children with special educational needs since 2008. So today, 5 students enrolled in the three classes receive education in an inclusive form. Each of them has an assistant teacher. Also, one integrated class was created, where 5 children were trained in a program with musculoskeletal disorders. The facility has accessible toilets, ramps, and comfortable access, gym and play areas.

Accordingly, the teachers presented methodological developments, logical and developmental games and other teaching methods used to work in inclusive classes.

In 2008, the school opened the first class for children with impaired loco-motor system. For this purpose, a number of architectural changes were made at the school.

At present, at school with an inclusive form of study:

In order to track the dynamics of the development of inclusive and special-grade students, teacher assistants form a portfolio of student achievements. Each student is involved in extracurricular activities, takes part in contests, projects and competitions.
